Yesterday I made the claim that I don't believe in aliens any more because, I always get my hopes up and then look at the evidence and think: 'it looks more like a balloon floating away than an intelligently powered craft'...
usually when I make bold claims, the universe teaches me a lesson and proves me wrong!!
not today tho eh?edit on 24-8-2012 by Beavers because: (no reason given)

Well spotted.
Technically it was a UFO.
It was an unidentified flying object.
Whether it was an alien space craft, a reflection of strong sunlight off a conventional flying object or something more mysterious it was well captured and a very interesting video - well done.

When was this video taken? What direction was the light traveling? I only ask because if it was moving out of the West it could have been the international space station.
Up until Monday its passes have been incredibly bright over the UK. Many have been in the evening at or just after sunset. I notice the sun is setting in your video.edit on 24/8/2012 by Grifter81 because: (no reason given)
Planets don't hang stationary, change brightness dramatically, then move and blink out.

Stabilizing effects always give that weird look to the video and make it harder to tell if its authentic.
(not saying that you are lying about filming this)
I have the unstabilized version on my hard drive and the camera I can upload it too if you like.

If the sun was setting could it not be a satellite moving away from you (which is why it appeared stationary) that caught that sun for a few seconds then faded. I'm not debunking, just presenting a possibilitiy.
But yet again with UFO vids, if there is even a 1% chance of the object having a reaonable explanation, then thats what it is usually labeled as and it is classed as 'officially debunked'. This is something i hate about sceptics and debunkers.edit on 24-8-2012 by iksose7 because: (no reason given)

Nice vid, S+F.
The excitement of the witnesses speaks volumes. I bet that was a wonderful expeirience.
Lol at the little boys remarks about making a wish. Bless him.

If you watch the video with no sound, it's a very different experience.
We see a bright light/reflection for a total of about 4-5 seconds and in that time it appears to be stationary and that's it.
Obviously the energy and excitement from the people make the video what it is and I'm sure being there would make it much better... but just as a viewer and watching objectively, I don't see anything to get excited about.

Wow, indeed uplifting! You could keep up visiting circles and build a relationship with them. Who knows, these are strange times...
I came within 500 ft of six orbs in 2009. This is nothing new for me. I intentionally went because the last time I visited a circle I had my first encounter three weeks later with the orbs. This time, it seems as though something showed up to say 'hi'.edit on 23-8-2012 by the.lights because: (no reason given)
Forgive me for saying this, but what you have posted ive seen so many times before over leeds/yorkshire area. When planes are approaching the airport from high altitude, they switch on bright lights. For a period of time, it looks like the plane is stationery, if it banks slightly, the light appears to flicker until the plane has turned slightly away, when it appears to go out. What i see in your video matches this. On the ground I see a group of people with their own beliefs all bouncing off each other and creating "what they want to see".
Sorry, but this is another light in the sky video. Your connections to previous undocumented/unevidenced events has no relation to this sighting and it scares me a bit that you've already decided that this light in the sky was a) somehow connected to you being there b) of alien origin
Don't get me wrong, i really want to believe. But after years of running a site and reviewing videos like this, i came to the conclusion that people will see whatever they want to see and no amount of discussion will sway their belief. If you take a step back and look at it logically, this is an aircraft in the sky. Or... are you really telling me that alien lights are appearing in our airspace in the evening without interception, report or complete and utter panic. Come on, think about it.edit on 24-8-2012 by ceetee because: (no reason given)

Great video by the way.

Seen this a lot.
When Sun is hitting the plane just at the right spot , creates huge bright light, looks amazing.
the light goes smaller and smaller.
Then the light just dissappears. This is simply because the plane has turned and the plane is too far away to spot with naked eye. Its exactly how you describe.
you can see the effect the setting sun is having on some streaks in the sky at 11/12second mark. it can make shiny planes look amazing.

I understand what you are saying (stared your post) in light of the footage but the generic affirmation as you make it is not correct.
Planets do not hang stationary, they move even if slow but often faster than for instance the duration of a sun set (that people have more or less a reference on the speed), they can change brightness dramatically depending on atmospheric conditions and even the time of day (more difficult to see if the sunlight interferes with the observation), in very specific conditions they can even seem to shimmer, float (similar to an hot air colon mirage) and clouds can make it blink out.
It is not what seems to happen on the video, just to put make it clear that it can not be generalized as you did.
